hi sorry let me re word that. do any of you have a fear that like someone online who you probably don't even know is gonna stalk you or something? not in an egotistic way, like a genuine just "wow! anyone can find me right now. and know things about me. that's... so scary!" and if so does that change how you act. i may as well js do a qotd atp but i'm curious. less so irl genuinely but more so online; are you sitting around waiting for someone to say "hey... was this you?" and it WAS?
I am worried hence why I keep this site and my general websurfing/doomscrolling away from my personal life. I have a persona on here, but it's just an exaggerated version of a me no one knows, except for Amelia, and Amelia has this account. She's just not interested in this.
In the past, I was more… relaxed? I would go on my Twitter or Discord (though, usually private) and talk about how my day went, places I visited, and so on. While that by itself isn’t the end of the Worlds, I try to wait a little before doing so, now… I’ve also stopped sharing many details about my life. Maybe I’ll share an anecdote once or twice, but that’s it. I started being more cautious after accidentally doxxing myself to my friends. I trust them enough, but still. Even if I don’t live there anymore, it’s still not that great.
I think this could happen, but if you notice, I try not to associate too much with different socials (lol). While my Tumblr is linked here, other than that, all other socials have barely any connection, if at all. So I’m not exactly waiting… If someone were to recognize me, that’s fine! I don’t have anything to be ashamed about.
I've had this fear become real, actually. People have uncovered things about me by searching my usernames, nothing problematic, but things I'm slightly uncomfortable with. But I've kinda just learned to accept it, and hope that it doesn't happen too often.
it’s happened to me so it’s not so much a fear anymore as opposed to something i know happens frequently
Honestly. No. I don't share much about my actual life beyond those whom I trust. Of which there are very few people. Of course, I specify, my actual life. I am not too protective of things like my age. I will generally answer anything I am asked truthfully, though with that being said anything invasive is outright ignored.
But generally, no. I don't care very much, I'd be delighted to know someone was interested in me enough to do so. (Of course unless it was for malicious reasons.)
not really tbh since i barely talk about myself publicly and keep some stuff in private or share it with specific friends. unless they somehow found my personal infos, then I'd be really concerned. for the last question; depending on what the post is about, I'd either feel indifferent or really embarrassed
Yes! It's mainly because it has happened to me in the past.
Not really , although I suppose it depends on which one of us ( / sys ) you ask .
